Abstract

A retrospective study was done involving 185 patients with sexually transmitted diseases, the aim being to
know the pattern of sexually transmitted diseases, male to female ratio, common age groups, marital status
and sources of infection. Gonorrhoea was the most common sexually transmitted disease. There were 32
cases of genital warts, 16 cases of non-gonococcal urethritis, 10 cases of genital molluscurn contagiosum, 9
cases of herpes genitalis, 8 cases of syphilis, 6 cases of lymphogranuloma venereum and 2 cases of chancroid.
Of 185 cases only 6 were females. Majority of the patients were between 20-40 years of age. Most of the
patients (about 64%) were married and had acquired infections from prostitutes, married women and
eunuchs.
